IFC Films enters ‘Void’

Company nabs rights to Cannes pic

IFC Films has picked up U.S. rights to Gaspar Noe’s Cannes competition pic “Enter the Void.”

The film from Argentine-French auteur Noe, who is best known his controversial “Irreversible, ” will have its U.S. preem at Sundance on Friday.

“Enter” stars Nathaniel Brown, Paz de la Huerta and Cyril Roy. The dreamlike, Tokyo-set pic concerns a drug-dealing teen who, after he’s killed, reappears as a ghost to watch over his sister. IFC will bow the film simultaneously in theaters and on VOD this year.

Paris-based, Buenos Aires-born Noe’s “Irreversible” (2002), about a brutal rape and revenge unfolding in reverse chronology, starred Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. His first film was 1998’s “I Stand Alone,” based on his own 1991 short “Carne.”
